1910 The Aero Manual Compiled By the Staff Of The Motor. Published by Temple Press, Roseberry Avenue, London
This small book is a real snapshot in the history of aviation and flying. It contains information on:

• Aeroplane Design & Construction
  
• Gliding experiments
  
• Modern Aeroplanes (1910!): e.g. The Wright, Voisin, Cody, Avroplane, Blériot
  
• Dirigible balloons

Some of the adverts, illustrations and plates are wonderful, and pretty quaint by modern day standards!
